Ingredients

  • 1 cup water lukewarm
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast 1/4 oz package
  • 3/4 cups nonfat plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 tablespoon dried basil
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley finely chopped (dried parsley can also be used)
  • olive oil for brushing (optional)
  • fresh chopped parsley optional

Instructions

  • Combine the lukewarm water, sugar, and yeast in a bowl. Whisk to dissolve the yeast. Leave for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
    1 cup water, 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • In a large bowl or a bowl of a stand mixer, whisk together the yeast mixture, yogurt, and olive oil. Add salt, basil, oregano, and garlic powder. 
    3/4 cups nonfat plain Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 2 teaspoons salt, 1 tablespoon dried basil, 1 tablespoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Add flour and parsley, stir until combined. Knead the dough with the hook of your mixer or by hand for 5-8 minutes until nice and smooth. Sprinkle more flour if the dough is sticky while kneading.
    4 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
  • Cover the dough with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel and let stand for 15 minutes.
  • Cut the dough into 10 pieces and form each piece into a small ball. Cover them with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel while the frying pan is preheating.
  • Roll out a dough ball to about a 6-inch circle. Brush the top of the rolled-out dough with olive oil. 
  • When the pan is hot, pick up the shaped dough and place it in the pan, oiled side down. Cook for 2 minutes, or until the top is bubbly and the bottom is lightly browned. While cooking, brush the opposite side with olive oil. Flip the flatbread and cook for 1 more minute, or until golden.
  • Remove from pan and set on a plate. Cover to keep warm.
  • Repeat the process with the rest of the dough. 
  • (optional) Brush the flatbread with the mixture of olive oil and chopped parsley.
